Nah, I disagree.He’s on less than 20 a week and there’s no chance he’s getting 35 so you don’t need to worry about your £20m figure.
Always amazes me when FF'rs know a players wage, how do you know this?He’s on less than 20 a week and there’s no chance he’s getting 35 so you don’t need to worry about your £20m figure.
He is involved in so many of our goals though, and him being double marked all the time leaves space for others.Looks good at times and I think keep him, but hardly ever scores, don't think that's acceptable for a forward player for Rangers, voted for him to go.
Sakala, Colak, Tillman, Wright, Roofe etc haven't been here 5 years. Think you just mean Kent and Morelos.Time to move him on, our full forward line need’s freshening up. We have won 2 domestic trophies in 5 years with the current players.
He's not 'double marked all the time'.He is involved in so many of our goals though, and him being double marked all the time leaves space for others.
It was him that made the 4th goal v Hibs but he got no assist for that, and then he should have had an assist for Colak's hattrick but Colak messed up the finish. The Hibs manager then singled him out as unplayable and our most dangerous player. Pretty obvious that his apparent lack of numbers doesn't tell the full story.
He won't be getting sold, he'll either leave in the summer through freedom of contract or sign a new one with us.Not good enough in the time he has been here, needs to be sold
Or,This in spades.
Letting a player we spent a large outlay on leave for zip is tantamount to fiscal suicide!
Yep, I should have phrased it betterHe won't be getting sold, he'll either leave in the summer through freedom of contract or sign a new one with us.
Who’s the better player and who would you prefer in your team - Kent or Sakala?
I think he’ll get comfortably more than £35,000 at EPL level, and I think there will be interest. Him being classed as a homegrown player is a massive advantage as he comes into what should be the peak of his career between 27 and 31 or so.Roughly 35k+ a week for a forward who doesn’t score despite being given complete licence to roam.
There’s players out there who can give us more for half the weekly wage.
If he was going to earn us a decent transfer fee then he would have by now so that ship has sailed.
He’s a good player, but the ‘teams always double up on him’ is another myth.Oh the the Kent is a different player under Beale myth getting an airing again.
Did you not watch the weekend, that is what we have got 3 out of every 4 games since the minute he walked through the door.
On his day he is one of our best, his days are becoming less frequent though, a lot of running about not a lot of end product for a guy that cost £7million.
If he was a Celtic player he would get far better protection from refs, the constant grabbing and holding would result in quick cards so he would he would probably have slightly better stats and lot lots of posters love their stats.I think he's a very good player, but replacable. If he was a Celtic player leaving them on a bosman, what would we think ? I don't think we'd be that bothered to be bothered.
Yes but roofe can go too.Sakala, Colak, Tillman, Wright, Roofe etc haven't been here 5 years. Think you just mean Kent and Morelos.
Can’t believe anyone would seriously have Sakala over Kent but fair enough.The player with the better end product. Kent's overall end product is shit.
Sakala came on a freebie, Kent was £7m.
Can’t believe anyone would seriously have Sakala over Kent but fair enough.
Bit unfair to have a go at Kent for performance against that mob - he was poor in the final granted but 9/10 he does show up against them,not necessarily saying he frightens them but I think they would be glad to see the back of him.I wouldn't compare the two of them, they are different style of players.
I'd fancy Sakala to hit the target more often, I'd fancy Sakala to slide home a 1 on 1 over Kent, I'd fancy Sakala to have a better end product over the course of a season.
Work rate, link up, touch, control, flicks and step overs - Kent every day.
Can't be arsed looking at the chances created stats since Beale came in but Kent vs Sakala in that situation would be interesting.
I also laugh at the people who say Kent frightens Celtic. It's a bit like saying Morelos will rag-doll the Celtic defence. It's all talk.
It's not the Rangers supports fault Kent could possibly leave on a free. I don't believe he's worth a pay increase either. I think he will sign a new deal because the options out there will be limited.
Correct.I’d like Kent to stay as he’s a far better performer under Beale and far more likely to make a meaningful contribution with the free role he is given. As a result he will also become a more sellable asset if he is contracted to Rangers again for another few years. Best case - we get a better version of Kent for a few more years under Beale. Worst case - he signs on, we get a more positive season from him next year and then he leaves for a fee next summer rather than on a free transfer this summer.
From what I've seen they're more scared of Sakala than Kent cause of his pace and unpredictability.I wouldn't compare the two of them, they are different style of players.

Sums it up for him a poor return6goals in nearly 90games.
He’s not even man marked in his roving role. He doesn’t score enough end ofHe's not 'double marked all the time'.
Like him or not he is one of our best players.
He get's special treatment from defences because of how creative he is. He might not be double marked for every second of the 90+ minutes but when he gets the ball he often draws multiple players out of position. It's been a feature of our play for years now surprised you've not noticed.He's not 'double marked all the time'.
Getting to the EL final is a major success.How did we do in the CL and the Europa League final ? Just in case you forgot.
That's my point though (especially the final): He is part of the core of a team that has failed us time and time again.
Yeah, him taking on the same player needlessly twice and losing it seems to get interpreted as "doubling up on him"He’s a good player, but the ‘teams always double up on him’ is another myth.
I don’t see your overall point, we are close to losing him for nothing and so a £7m loss on the absolute transfer fee paid for Kent and we still need to replace him.I could imagine the uproar if he walked for 5M - Would still need replaced out of that.
How come no-one signed Messi in January then? He's in the same contract situation as Kent. Do you think PSG fans are writing on their forums that it speaks volumes that no-one has snapped Messi up yet?It speaks volumes that he's been able to run his contract down here and nobody snapped him up in January.
I simply don't think return on investment is as simple as that here.I don’t see your overall point, we are close to losing him for nothing and so a £7m loss on the absolute transfer fee paid for Kent and we still need to replace him.
If the board genuinely would be scared to make the right overall decision because supporters would be angry then the board are not fit for purpose (Wilson certainly isn’t). They need to make tough decisions that are in the best interests of the club and if they shy away from them then they should be ousted.
If only he could shoot .
We wont be able to afford a better replacement. Look what £3M for Rabbi Mattondo got us. Any player with the skill of Kent will cost us a fortune, which we dont have.
I think it's safe to say that Messi's wages and demands would significantly limit the number of real life suitors he would court. He'd also have his agent very well briefed and planning out exactly what he was willing to do.How come no-one signed Messi in January then? He's in the same contract situation as Kent.

I expect the board saw keeping him and not having to replace him as a better move than taking a low ball offer.I don’t see your overall point, we are close to losing him for nothing and so a £7m loss on the absolute transfer fee paid for Kent and we still need to replace him.

How do you know he's not had an offer from a Championship team?I think it's safe to say that Messi's wages and demands would significantly limit the number of real life suitors he would court. He'd also have his agent very well briefed and planning out exactly what he was willing to do.
We're taliing about Ryan Kent, who an English Championship side could comfortably afford to buy and give him a bigger wage than he gets here and that (if he was good enough) would be a drop in the ocean ofor a lower-end EPL club.
It's a daft comparison.
Some on here don’t rate anybody.Honestly don't see why people don't rate him.
Obviously could improve, bit compared to wright, sakala, matondo.. He's streets ahead and effectively now a bosman signing
We would be bursting with joy if we signed the exact same player for free from another club next season

No one wanted him before. Why would they want him now. We would need to pay him a signing on fee and give him a rise. For what playing sh%te
He's not 'double marked all the time'.
